A state-of-the-art data center with Cisco, Routers, firewalls, connection to premium tier-1 Backbone providers and connection with Genuity and Cable and Wireless always gives the web hosting company an edge because of its above average web hosting services. FM-200 fire auppression, multiple UPS systems, backup diesel generators, backed up with 24/7/365 accessibility to network operations staff and technicians ensure great performance and smooth running of the data center. However, in most cases 80% or more of the web hosts are just resellers, and another 10% are just co-locating in some other data center, without direct physical access to the machines. This simply would not work.
